in the name of the queen.

Chapter 189 I want to focus on teaching
What on earth is Roland doing?
Angelina sat in the office, frowning slightly, looking at the information submitted by her subordinates. She was silent for a long time, still unable to understand.

Her mind wandered far away, carefully recalling what had happened over the past month.

The spring of 1792 came very early.

Except for the White Mountains, which are covered with snow all year round at the top, almost all the snow elsewhere has melted.

There was not much snow around Val City in winter, but now everything is recovering and full of vitality.

Angelina was appointed as the special representative in Vaal City, fully responsible for the affairs surrounding Vaal City and the supervision of the White Mountain Magic Crystal Mine.

She knew very well that these were just basic tasks, and if you did them well, there would be no deductions or bonus points. The Queen expected more from her.

She also has to expand the intelligence network here, form a flexible armed force, establish good relations with representatives of other countries, and at the same time strive for the interests of the country through various means.

In addition, she also has to find ways to disperse the Var people within her jurisdiction to make room for the Rurik immigrants.

In addition to the tasks assigned by the Queen, she also has to save face for the Shadow Templar.

It's really not easy for her to make the final decision on such a large number of exchanges of intelligence personnel.

No matter how powerful Roland was, he couldn't stop the full blow from the ring.

Angelina put down the information and couldn't help but ask: "What's going on with Roland recently?"

The officer in charge of intelligence looked a little ugly.

Of course she couldn't understand Roland.

The current water in Val City is very deep, and he doesn't want to go there at all.

Angelina didn't know that Roland, who she expected to go to Vaal City at any time, was actually the president of Rodinia University, teaching and educating people.

He has already offended the goddess of light, he cannot offend the goddess of fertility as well.

Standing in front of the window, looking to the north, the farmland in the suburbs is already full of green, and flowers and plants are beginning to emerge.

Loss of contact in this case means death or capture.

She waited patiently for Roland to come to Vaal City, and then gave him a hard blow.

During this period, there were several minor frictions between various forces in Vaal City.

She must test Roland's true strength and, if there is a suitable opportunity, make him lose face severely.

It is a common practice for countries to insert spies into each other. During peacetime, all parties have tacit unspoken rules to deal with conflicts in this area.

Her real strength now has surpassed Camille's and ranks second in the Shadow Temple.

The Queen and the Cabinet now maintained a delicate balance of apparent peace, which he had no wish to destroy.

It would be okay to inspect the construction of the Great Cathedral as a Knight of Light, but he didn't want to go.

"According to the clues we have, he is really working as a principal and even teaching students. He is also promoting basic education, building roads, opening factories, and building new docks in the governor-general area."

Thinking of this, Angelina waved her hand helplessly, signaling the intelligence officer to step back.

After all, he is a citizen of the Diocese of Fertility, and openly colluding with the Holy Temple of Light will make the Holy Temple of Fertility very unhappy.

He crossed the line by running to Vaal City all day long.

In order to compete for urban population and commercial resources, and to settle grievances, people shed blood every day.

Roland took away so many people at once, and the redemption price was not cheap.

She didn't understand. How could Roland not come to such an occasion?

Camille was relegated to the eastern wilderness to grow potatoes due to his humiliating failure. His second vacancy was taken over by Angelina, which shows the queen's trust in her.

Angelina was even more surprised. This was an infrastructure construction that cost a lot of money but had slow results. She couldn't understand Roland's motives and murmured:
"Does he really plan to live overseas permanently? Wait, you just said that based on the clues we have, you mean that our intelligence officers in Hanseatic Province were expelled?"

Roland's every move was precise and beyond her understanding, completely different from how normal people would handle it.

However, she waited for almost two months and found nothing.

When intelligence personnel are captured, they are usually exchanged for prisoners of equal value. If there are no prisoners of equal value, they have to pay for redemption.

The intelligence network in Hansa and other three provinces was overtly or covertly uprooted. Only a few unimportant peripheral members fled back in embarrassment, and all the core members were lost.

The special representative of the Sussex Empire in Vaal City is not him, but someone sent by the cabinet.

She couldn't think of any reason why Roland could resist a blow with one-tenth of the Queen's power.

According to Chief Sakhalin, Roland's hard power is not strong, and it is far inferior to her who has been practicing hard in the Arctic glaciers for several months.

Angelina's face looked very ugly.

She still couldn't figure out how Roland could stay out of the situation so peacefully.

Don't do things that offend people for no reason.

She is confident about this.

Not only that, the queen also gave her a blue ring as a trump card.

If the other party finds clues, it is not impossible to dig out a few intelligence agents. But this time, the entire intelligence network was completely uprooted, and the losses were too great.

"Yes, at least forty intelligence officers are missing."

Although in the eyes of many people Roland is a pretty boy who knows nothing about the world, but his position is very upright.

She naturally couldn't figure it out. Roland was not a natural war madman, and he certainly didn't like fighting and killing as much as she did.

He is a scholar on his way to stardom, and he fights and kills all day long.

If you can increase your strength by imparting knowledge, who would risk your life all day long?
During this period of time, Roland's life was not very comfortable.

After leaving Vaal City, he immediately summoned real experts from various industries to learn more about the current real level of each industry.

According to the intelligence he collected, the productivity and technological level of this world in 1792 was basically equivalent to the level in 1792 before time travel, which was roughly equivalent to the early to mid-term of the first industrial revolution.

Perhaps it's because the millet in the other world is particularly nourishing, or perhaps because of the different gravity. The average physical fitness of people and animals in the Theia plane is much better than that of the world before the time travel.

In addition, due to the existence of magic and alchemy and the exhaustion of petrochemical energy, the technology tree of the plane of Theia is also very crooked.

There is only one line of industry, and that is boiling water, bah, steam power.

The huge, extremely noisy, stupid steam engine is the mainstream machinery in this world.

Higher levels of technology basically rely on archaeological excavation.

Whoever can find the relics of previous eras and unearth precious books will be able to master technological power that transcends the times.

Of course, not all digging leads to treasure. If you are unlucky enough to find a book on internal combustion engines or fuel-gas engines, you will have to consider yourself unlucky.

After all, dragon slaying requires dragons to be useful.

With the strengthening of the power of the soul card, Roland can now take out classics directly from the memory library and automatically translate them into the Sussex version.

Time goes back to more than a month ago, with the completion of Rodinia University, Roland became the principal, and All-Day Cat was a guest lecturer at the university, imparting knowledge by the way.

The affairs of the Viceroyalty are entrusted to Sif.

Roland's reason for quitting the job was simple, "You have to start by governing three provinces and gradually get used to governing the entire empire. I'm very busy, and I want to focus on passing on knowledge."

According to Roland's request, only Sif and a few important personnel can come to him directly, and others are not allowed to come to the school to interfere with his teaching activities.

On his second day as principal, the Director of Education approached Roland.

"My Lord Governor, the promotion of compulsory education in primary and secondary schools requires a complete set of textbooks. School is about to start, and we are very short of systematic textbooks."

"Let me correct you. This is a school. Please call me principal. What you said is easy to handle. I have ready-made textbooks. You can find professionals to modify them first, and then go to the printing factory to print them."

Roland has many books, such as "Sussex Language Textbook for Primary and Secondary Schools", which is from Longman Group and is very authentic.

Except for a few actors whose names are somewhat Serisian, there is basically no need for translation.

The Director of Education took the book handed over by Roland and showed a surprised expression after flipping through a few pages.

"Oh my god, there are color illustrations. This is a very precious relic from the previous era! It's a pity that we don't have the ability to print such a beautiful textbook."

This is still the era of type printing, and color printing does not exist at all.

Roland smiled and said: "This is simple. You can ask education experts to make appropriate modifications. It must be simplified as much as possible so that children without foundation can learn as soon as possible."

"I understand, some people here have strange names, like this Han Meimei? I have never seen it spelled this way."

"You are an expert in this area, and you are responsible for the translation and revision."

Roland smiled and delegated power to the Director of Education.

The Minister of Education is extremely grateful. It was certainly not difficult to make modifications, and what excited him even more was Roland's trust.

The Governor always has full trust in the technical staff. Even if he has more knowledge, he will fully respect the technical staff.

He is indeed the best leader.

The Director of Education left happily holding a complete set of textbooks that Roland took out from the bookcase.

He was happy, and Roland was even happier.

He didn't have to do anything at all. While others were working overtime, he could just sit quietly and drink coffee and receive the corresponding inheritance badge.

Each additional badge will make the golden light of the soul card more dazzling.

The disadvantage of the knowledgeable person's star journey is that promotion is not easy, but the advantage is that the potential is huge.

No normal person would have the opportunity to promote knowledge on a large scale like Roland. It was a fluke to upgrade the bottom of the card to gold.

What Roland wanted was not gold, he wanted more dazzling colored cards.

Macbeth's old villain is still waiting for him. If he doesn't have enough strength, he will die on the day of promotion.

The director of education had just been sent away, and the director of industry was also in a hurry.

"Sir Governor, I heard from others that you have a lot of books here. I wonder if I can borrow some?"

"of course can."

Roland had already compiled relevant information for him.

In addition to various technical books related to steam engines, he also secretly stuffed some nineteenth-century science fiction works into it.

Imagination is fighting power, and these science fiction works are also important.

Although Roland owns many classics, he is not a professional after all.

He understands the principles of steam engines, so it would be difficult for him to build a steam locomotive that can run at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour.

He chooses to believe in professionalism!

Those popular science works were his selfish motives. He hopes to use this way of opening up ideas to provide a spark of inspiration for professionals.

As for how to partially replace the internal combustion engine with a steam engine and gradually transition to the electric age, that is a matter for scientists.

He is only responsible for inheritance and not for specific research.

The Minister of Industry read through it briefly and almost jumped out of joy.

This was just the classical book he needed.

"A submersible that can dive underwater, a ship that can sail on the sea without relying on wind power!"

The Minister of Industry murmured to himself: "It is indeed the wisdom from the ancient era!"

Roland didn't bother to correct his misunderstanding and just nodded.

People in this era understand technology through archeology. That's fine, it saves him the trouble of trying to cover it up.

In the future, various classics can be taken out freely, and it will be an archaeological discovery.

As for where the archaeological excavation came from, of course no one would be stupid enough to ask him directly.

Looking at the ecstatic expression of the Minister of Industry, Roland knew that it wouldn't be long before he would have a new badge.

Just after seeing off the Minister of Industry, the Minister of Agriculture came in sweating profusely.

"Sir Governor, I have observed that the weather conditions this year are very abnormal, and there are many more reports of pests and diseases than in previous years. How should we respond?"

"Please call me principal here. This is the "Wheat Pest and Disease Control Manual", which is a classic found in archeology. The medicines you don't recognize are lost, but there are some methods that can be used. Please give it a try."

Roland said calmly: "The production of agricultural products in the central and western plains of Rodinia will definitely decrease significantly this year. We must prepare in advance. Do you know any high-quality grain-producing areas?"

"If there is a problem in the central and western parts of the Rodinia continent, then we can only import food from the Kingdom of Wallachia or even the distant southern continent. There are famous large granaries there, and the price of food is not high. In fact, the same goes for the Vladimir Empire. grain-producing countries, but it is not easy to buy grain from them.”

The price is indeed not high now, but it will be high when all countries are short of food.

Roland tapped his fingertips on the table, and after a moment of silence, he motioned for the Minister of Agriculture to leave.

Buying food is no small matter.

Buying in small quantities is naturally not a problem, but buying in large quantities can easily cause alarm.

What is the purpose of hoarding food?
With Roland's notoriety, others would probably think that he was preparing for war.

It was a huge injustice. He really had no intention of starting a war this year.

At least there is no plan to start a large-scale war.

Unless someone takes the initiative to provoke him or it is profitable.

Roland thought for a moment and sent his secretary to find someone.

Not long after, the mysterious royally authorized businessman Stanley appeared.

It was not surprising that Roland summoned him, but what surprised him was the reason for asking him.

He originally thought that Roland wanted to know the progress of the [Hunting Plan], but he didn't expect that Roland would ask about food imports as soon as he opened his mouth.

International grain trade was uncommon in this era.

Transportation costs are too high and food is easily lost along the way.

The thieves who commit various robberies are second best, mainly because the feudal lords in various places charge too high fees for setting up cards.

Stanley thought for a moment and objected, "My Lord Governor, the cost of importing a ton of grain from Wallachia is more than three times the price of local grain, and it is even more expensive from Nubia and other countries. This can only be reduced by importing from several neighboring countries. cost."

"You can't import from neighboring countries, you can't even let them know how much food we import."

Roland thought for a moment and said softly: "Let's go by sea. The cost of sea shipping is low."

Since Roland said so, Stanley would naturally not object.

His position is very upright, he never asks things he shouldn't ask, and he doesn't talk too much.

Just now he was just giving advice from the perspective of business costs.

Since Roland insists, there must be a reason for his insistence, and Stanley will certainly not be stubborn.

Knowing how to be flexible is the basic quality of a businessman.

He thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"We can entrust Samaritan merchants to purchase. From what I know about them, these moths will definitely play tricks on them, which will give them another reason to deal with them."

Stanley snorted, his tone full of disgust, "These greedy fools won't realize how fat they are until they get on the grill."

Seeing the hatred and anger flashing in Stanley's eyes, Roland knew that he had found the right person to put Stanley in charge of this matter.

He was just a little worried that Stanley would be dazzled by hatred, so he quickly reminded:
"I know you want to catch them all, but don't worry, wait until they lose their vigilance before taking action."

"I understand." Stanley nodded, his expression gradually calming down.

After calming down, he quickly formulated a plan of action.

He knew very well which merchants to sign contracts with and where to import grain from.

He also made a very vicious suggestion.

"I suggest Her Majesty Sylph sign a contract with them in the name of the royal family. Since it is a royal trade, these idiots will not miss the opportunity to make money."

"Infringing on the emperor's interests is a capital crime, and none of them can escape. And we only need to pay a small deposit, which can also save money."

Roland's eyes lit up.

What is professional? This is called professional.

Stanley is not only very familiar with international trade, but also knows Samaritan merchants well. How to set up traps and close the net are all within his calculations.

After getting Roland's approval, Stanley left quickly.

His eyes were flashing with anger, and his nails dug into his clenched palms, almost causing bleeding.

He did have a personal vendetta to avenge, so he proposed to entrust the Samaritans to buy grain.

The hunt was about to begin and he didn't have to hold back much longer.

After handling the government affairs, Roland looked at the course schedule. In the afternoon, he would accompany Sif to teach new students at the military academy.

The content of this class is mainly patriotic education.

It is necessary to put politics first before military action.

These selected short-term training courses are all future junior officers and non-commissioned officers. They come from different countries and ethnic groups, and they must be brainwashed from the beginning.

Let them know who they are fighting for.

He will not shout the slogan "please go elsewhere to get promoted and rich".

This is the 1792 year.

He also wanted to let the students know that if you want to get promoted and make a fortune, you have come to the right place.

After taking a short break in the office, Sif came.

Looking at Sif's slightly darkened eyes, Roland felt a little distressed.

"It's been a hard day."

"I work for you and you work for me. We both work hard." Sif responded with a smile.

She casually found a seat on the sofa, closed her eyes and enjoyed a moment of tranquility.

Roland did not disturb Sif, because Sif actually fell asleep on the sofa.

To her, there is no essential difference between this kind of sofa and sitting on a stone.

She was so tired that she lay down on the stone and fell asleep.

After all, he is the governor, and if he is not too busy, he should indeed perform his duties.

Now is a critical period for laying a solid foundation for the Governor-General's jurisdiction, and he cannot slack off.

It is true that Anthony brought a lot of gold, but compared with the huge construction plan, the money was still scarce.

The Magic Association does not have much gold reserves. Their most valuable items are various magic materials and equipment.

Before these three magic crystal veins were discovered, the world's magic crystal was used less and less, and the price was being speculated higher and higher.

As the magic crystal veins are mined in the Golden Valley, the rewards given to Roland by the Magic Association will gradually increase.

This is a long process, and the top priority is to make money.

Roland is in urgent need of high-quality leeks.

He does not intend to rip off the bones of farmers and workers. The main purpose of asking them to pay taxes is to create a sense of belonging and to know whose people they are.

He doesn't intend to take advantage of the poor, he will take advantage of whoever has the money.

Businessmen in this era are almost equated with evil people, especially in the Samaritan business district.

He was a little impatient.

When the food returns to China, there will be reserves to deal with this year's food crisis.

When countries in the central and western parts of the mainland are generally short of food, the food reserves in his hands are huge.

He would seize the opportunity to attack the kingdom of Oden, its coastal neighbor to the north.

The Kingdom of Oden has a good geographical location, its ancestors are also wealthy, and it has a good naval tradition.

They were defeated by the Sussex Empire one hundred and twenty years ago, losing most of their warships.

The Oden royal family regarded this as a great shame and planted a large-scale arbor forest in the country that could build hundreds of warships.

One hundred and twenty years later, these trees have matured and can be used to build warships.

Since last year, the Kingdom of Oden has been cutting down oak trees in preparation for shipbuilding.

If my neighbor has a tree and I have a gun, the tree is mine.

Considering that there have been wars between the two countries, it is self-evident who the Kingdom of Oden is targeting for its large-scale ship building.

Although the Kingdom of Oden's navy is not weak, it is no match for the Sussex people. Instead of waiting for them to build warships and then send another wave, it is better to help them solve the problem from the source.

If we cannot build battleships, we will not fail in naval battles, let alone send tens of thousands more navy.

This is not about fighting, but about eliminating the hidden dangers of war.

Roland didn't even plan to annex territory, just to get some wood.

Just when he dreamed of building his own boat from his neighbor's tree, Sif slowly woke up.

She sat up a little nervously and looked blankly at the clock on the wall, making sure that nothing was wrong and finally feeling relieved.

However, after seeing Roland's concerned eyes, she became even more flustered.

What should I do? Roland must have noticed her sleeping on the sofa!
"Roland, was I ugly just now?"

Roland was stunned.

The word "ugly" has nothing to do with Sif.

Although he wanted to complain, he still smiled and said: "Of course not, even if you fall asleep, you are still sleeping beauty."

"Sleeping Beauty?" Sif's curiosity was aroused, and she smelled the story.

Seeing that it was still early, Roland didn't show any pretense. He sat down opposite Sif, cleared his throat, and started today's story.

Another love story between a prince and a princess.

Sif loved to hear Roland's stories.

But she suddenly realized that what she liked now was Roland's storytelling itself, rather than the obviously made-up stories.

Only a prince can kiss a princess to wake her up?

Romantic story, but not realistic.

If the princess cursed by witchcraft could be awakened so easily by the prince, she would even suspect that the prince and the wizard were in league with each other.
